NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent with
the annual audited statements. The adjustments made to these
condensed statements consist only of normal recurring
adjustments. Certain information, accounting policies, and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the registrant
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes thereto included in the
registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
(2) Organization -
AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership
("Partnership") was formed to acquire and lease commercial
properties to operating tenants. The Partnership's
operations are managed by AEI Fund Management XX, Inc.
("AFM"), the Managing General Partner. Robert P. Johnson,
the President and sole director of AFM, serves as the
Individual General Partner. AFM is a wholly owned
subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation of which Mr. Johnson
is the majority shareholder. AEI Fund Management, Inc.
("AEI"), an affiliate of AFM, performs the administrative
and operating functions for the Partnership.
The terms of the Partnership offering called for a
subscription price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Unit,
payable on acceptance of the offer. The Partnership
commenced operations on June 30, 1993 when minimum
subscriptions of 1,500 Limited Partnership Units
($1,500,000) were accepted. On January 19, 1995, the
offering terminated when the maximum subscription limit of
24,000 Limited Partnership Units was reached. Under the
terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Limited
Partners and General Partners contributed funds of
$24,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.
During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
provided, however, that such distributions to the General
Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners first
receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash
Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
defined, and, provided further, that in no event will the
General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash Flow
per annum. Distributions to Limited Partners will be made
pro rata by Units.
AEI NET LEASE INCOME & GROWTH FUND XX LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(2) Organization - (Continued)
Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or
financing of properties which the General Partners determine
to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
be paid in the following manner: (i) first, 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners until the
Limited Partners receive an amount equal to: (a) their
Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to
12% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum,
cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not previously
distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) any remaining balance
will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to
the General Partners. Distributions to the Limited Partners
will be made pro rata by Units.
For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than
profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of property, will be
allocated first in the same ratio in which, and to the
extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed to the Partners for
such year. Any additional profits will be allocated in the
same ratio as the last dollar of Net Cash Flow is
distributed. Net losses from operations will be allocated
99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
or other disposition of property will be allocated in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement as follows: (i)
first, to those partners with deficit balances in their
capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum of such
deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of
the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an
amount equal to 12% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
previously allocated; (iii) third, the balance of any
remaining gain will then be allocated 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners. Losses will be
allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General
Partners.
The General Partners are not required to currently fund a
deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the General
Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balances in their capital
accounts or 1% of total Limited Partners' and General
Partners' capital contributions.
(3) Reclassification -
Certain items related to discontinued operations in the
prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to 2009 presentation. These reclassifications had
no effect on Partners' capital, net income or cash flows.

(4) Investments in Real Estate -
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Partnership entered into
an agreement to purchase a 70% interest in a Staples store
in Vernon Hills, Illinois for approximately $3,715,000. The
property is leased to Staples the Office Superstore East,
Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term
of 9.4 years and initial annual rent of $308,315 for the
interest purchased. The remaining interest in the property
will be purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 27 LLC, an
affiliate of the Partnership.
(5) Payable to AEI Fund Management, Inc. -
AEI Fund Management, Inc. performs the administrative and
operating functions for the Partnership. The payable to AEI
Fund Management represents the balance due for those
services. This balance is non-interest bearing and
unsecured and is to be paid in the normal course of
business.
(6) Discontinued Operations -
On February 27, 2008, the Partnership sold its 50% interest
in the Champps Americana restaurant in West Chester, Ohio to
an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale
proceeds of $2,057,022, which resulted in a net gain of
$632,104. At the time of sale, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation was $1,569,884 and $144,966,
respectively. Through March 31, 2008, the Partnership
recognized a net gain of $621,404. In the second quarter of
2008, the Partnership recorded a $10,700 adjustment to the
expenses of the sale.
On June 30, 2008, the Partnership sold its 5.9250% interest
in the Applebee's restaurant in Middletown, Ohio to an
unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale
proceeds of $95,438, which resulted in a net gain of
$50,834. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of
the interest sold was $69,106 and $24,502, respectively.
On November 30, 2008, the Lease term expired for the Red
Robin restaurant on Citadel Drive in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. The tenant reviewed their operations at the
property and decided not to enter into an agreement to
extend the term of the Lease. The Partnership has listed
the property for sale with a real estate broker in the
Colorado Springs area. While the property is vacant, the
Partnership is responsible for real estate taxes and other
costs associated with maintaining the property.
Based on an analysis of market conditions in the area, the
Partnership determined the Red Robin restaurant was impaired
in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". As a result,
in the fourth quarter of 2008, a charge to discontinued
operations for real estate impairment of $161,088 was
recognized, which was the difference between the book value
at December 31, 2008 of $1,277,088 and the estimated fair
value of $1,116,000. The charge was recorded against the
cost of the land and building. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the property was classified as Real
Estate Held for Sale.

(Continued)
(6) Discontinued Operations - (Continued)
On January 9, 2009, the Partnership sold the Johnny Carino's
restaurant in Alexandria, Louisiana to an unrelated third
party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of
$2,231,614, which resulted in a net gain of $392,362. At
the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation was $2,144,748 and $305,496, respectively. At
December 31, 2008, the property was classified as Real
Estate Held for Sale with a book value of $1,839,252.
In May 2009, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
sell the Tractor Supply Company retail store in Mesquite,
Texas to an unrelated third party. The agreement requires a
cash down payment of $750,000 and a 3-year Note for
$750,000. The sale is subject to contingencies and may not
be completed. If the sale is completed, the Partnership
expects to recognize net sale proceeds of approximately
$1,396,000, which will result in a net gain of approximately
$256,100. If the sale is not completed, the Partnership
will likely seek another buyer for the property and may not
be able to negotiate a purchase agreement with similar
economic terms. At March 31, 2009, the property was
classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a book value of
$1,139,902.
During the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership distributed net sale proceeds of $69,785 and
$115,152 to the Limited and General Partners as part of
their quarterly distributions, which represented a return of
capital of $3.13 and $5.17 per Limited Partnership Unit,
respectively. The Partnership anticipates the remaining net
sale proceeds will either be reinvested in additional
property or distributed to the Partners in the future.
The financial results for these properties are reflected as
Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial
statements. The following are the results of discontinued
operations for the three months ended March 31:
2009 2008
Rental Income $ 29,581 $ 142,277

(7) Fair Value Measurements -
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements," ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides enhanced
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff
Position (FSP) No. 157-2, which deferred the effective date
of SFAS 157 for one year relative to certain nonfinancial
assets and liabilities. The Partnership adopted SFAS 157
for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008 and
for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities on January
1, 2009. The Partnership has no assets or liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring
basis that would require disclosure under this
pronouncement.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This section contains "forward looking statements" which
represent management's expectations or beliefs concerning future
events, including statements regarding anticipated application of
cash, expected returns from rental income, growth in revenue, the
sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of
distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward
looking statements, should be evaluated in the context of a
number of factors that may affect the Partnership's financial
condition and results of operations, including the following:
Market and economic conditions which affect the value
of the properties the Partnership owns and the cash
from rental income such properties generate;
the federal income tax consequences of rental income,
deductions, gain on sales and other items and the
effects of these consequences for the Partners;
resolution by the General Partners of conflicts with
which they may be confronted;
the success of the General Partners of locating
properties with favorable risk return characteristics;
the effect of tenant defaults; and
the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
properties owned by the Partnership operate.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing
basis, including those related to the carrying value of real
estate and the allocation by AEI Fund Management, Inc. of
expenses to the Partnership as opposed to other funds they
manage.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
Prior to January 1, 2009, the Partnership purchased
properties and recorded them in the financial statements at cost
(including capitalized acquisition expenses). For acquisitions
completed on or after January 1, 2009, acquisition-related
transaction costs will be expensed as incurred as a result of the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141(R), "Business Combinations". The Partnership tests long-
lived assets for recoverability when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. For properties the Partnership will hold and
operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by
comparing the property's probability-weighted cash flows to its
current carrying value. For properties held for sale, management
determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the
property's estimated fair value less cost to sell to its current
carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the
realizable value, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the
carrying value of the property to its realizable value. Changes
in these assumptions or analysis may cause material changes in
the carrying value of the properties.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. allocates expenses to each of
the funds they manage primarily on the basis of the number of
hours devoted by their employees to each fund's affairs. They
also allocate expenses at the end of each month that are not
directly related to a fund's operations based upon the number of
investors in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative to
other funds they manage. The Partnership reimburses these
expenses subject to detailed limitations contained in the
Partnership Agreement.
Management of the Partnership has discussed the
development and selection of the above accounting estimates and
the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them
with the managing partner of the Partnership.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership recognized rental income from continuing operations
of $336,020 and $331,991 respectively. In 2009, rental income
increased due to rent increases on two properties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership incurred Partnership administration expenses from
affiliated parties of $63,173 and $56,755, respectively. These
administration expenses include costs associated with the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and communicating with the Limited Partners. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $11,557 and $11,691, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit costs, taxes,
insurance and other property costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership recognized interest income of $12,605 and $11,895,
respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", upon complete disposal of a property or
classification of a property as Real Estate Held for Sale, the
Partnership includes the operating results and sale of the
property in discontinued operations. In addition, the
Partnership reclassifies the prior periods' operating results of
the property to discontinued operations. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership recognized income from
discontinued operations of $398,720, representing rental income
less property management expenses and depreciation of $6,358 and
gain on disposal of real estate of $392,362. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized income
from discontinued operations of $740,717, representing rental
income less property management expenses of $119,313 and gain on
disposal of real estate of $621,404.
On February 27, 2008, the Partnership sold its 50%
interest in the Champps Americana restaurant in West Chester,
Ohio to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net
sale proceeds of $2,057,022, which resulted in a net gain of
$632,104. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation was $1,569,884 and $144,966, respectively. Through
March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized a net gain of
$621,404. In the second quarter of 2008, the Partnership
recorded a $10,700 adjustment to the expenses of the sale.
On June 30, 2008, the Partnership sold its 5.9250%
interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Middletown, Ohio to an
unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale
proceeds of $95,438, which resulted in a net gain of $50,834.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interest
sold was $69,106 and $24,502, respectively.
On November 30, 2008, the Lease term expired for the Red
Robin restaurant on Citadel Drive in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The tenant reviewed their operations at the property and decided
not to enter into an agreement to extend the term of the Lease.
The Partnership has listed the property for sale with a real
estate broker in the Colorado Springs area. While the property
is vacant, the Partnership is responsible for real estate taxes
and other costs associated with maintaining the property. The
loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property will
decrease the Partnership's cash flow in the future.
Consequently, beginning with the first quarter of 2009, the
Partnership is reducing its regular distribution rate until the
property can be sold and the proceeds reinvested in additional
property.
Based on an analysis of market conditions in the area, the
Partnership determined the Red Robin restaurant was impaired in
accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. As a result, in the fourth
quarter of 2008, a charge to discontinued operations for real
estate impairment of $161,088 was recognized, which was the
difference between the book value at December 31, 2008 of
$1,277,088 and the estimated fair value of $1,116,000. The
charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building.
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the property was
classified as Real Estate Held for Sale.
On January 9, 2009, the Partnership sold the Johnny
Carino's restaurant in Alexandria, Louisiana to an unrelated
third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of
$2,231,614, which resulted in a net gain of $392,362. At the
time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was
$2,144,748 and $305,496, respectively. At December 31, 2008, the
property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a book
value of $1,839,252.

In May 2009, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
sell the Tractor Supply Company retail store in Mesquite, Texas
to an unrelated third party. The agreement requires a cash down
payment of $750,000 and a 3-year Note for $750,000. The sale is
subject to contingencies and may not be completed. If the sale
is completed, the Partnership expects to recognize net sale
proceeds of approximately $1,396,000, which will result in a net
gain of approximately $256,100. If the sale is not completed,
the Partnership will likely seek another buyer for the property
and may not be able to negotiate a purchase agreement with
similar economic terms. At March 31, 2009, the property was
classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a book value of
$1,139,902.
Management believes inflation has not significantly
affected income from operations. Leases may contain rent
increases, based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index over
a specified period, which will result in an increase in rental
income over the term of the leases. Inflation also may cause the
real estate to appreciate in value. However, inflation and
changing prices may have an adverse impact on the operating
margins of the properties' tenants, which could impair their
ability to pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net Cash Flow
available for distributions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
Partnership's cash balances increased $2,114,330 as a result of
cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially
offset by distributions paid to the Partners in excess of cash
generated from operating activities. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership's cash balances increased
$2,077,593 as a result of cash generated from the sale of
property and cash generated from operating activities in excess
of distributions paid to the Partners.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from
$455,514 in 2008 to $297,869 in 2009 as a result of a decrease in
total rental and interest income in 2009, an increase in
Partnership administration and property management expenses in
2009 and net timing differences in the collection of payments
from the tenants and the payment of expenses.
The major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and proceeds
from the sale of real estate. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership generated cash flow from
the sale of real estate of $2,231,614 and $2,046,322,
respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Partnership entered into
an agreement to purchase a 70% interest in a Staples store in
Vernon Hills, Illinois for approximately $3,715,000. The
property is leased to Staples the Office Superstore East, Inc.
under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 9.4
years and initial annual rent of $308,315 for the interest
purchased. The remaining interest in the property will be
purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 27 LLC, an affiliate of the
Partnership.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow, other than
investment in real estate, is distribution and redemption
payments to Partners. The Partnership declares its regular
quarterly distributions before the end of each quarter and pays
the distribution in the first week after the end of each quarter.
The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable distribution rate
from quarter to quarter. Redemption payments are paid to
redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter of each year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership declared distributions of $357,576 and $539,395,
respectively, which were distributed 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners. The Limited Partners received
distributions of $354,000 and $534,001 and the General Partners
received distributions of $3,576 and $5,394 for the periods,
respectively. In March 2008, the Partnership declared a special
distribution of net sale proceeds of $115,152. In 2009,
distributions were lower due to a decrease in the distribution
rate per Unit, effective January 1, 2009, and the special
distribution in March 2008.
During the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership distributed net sale proceeds of $69,785 and $115,152
to the Limited and General Partners as part of their quarterly
distributions, which represented a return of capital of $3.13 and
$5.17 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The
Partnership anticipates the remaining net sale proceeds will
either be reinvested in additional property or distributed to the
Partners in the future.
The Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
be acquired at a discount. The Partnership will not be obligated
to purchase in any year any number of Units that, when aggregated
with all other transfers of Units that have occurred since the
beginning of the same calendar year (excluding Permitted
Transfers as defined in the Partnership Agreement), would exceed
5% of the total number of Units outstanding on January 1 of such
year. In no event shall the Partnership be obligated to purchase
Units if, in the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner,
such purchase would impair the capital or operation of the
Partnership.
During 2009 and 2008, the Partnership did not redeem any
Units from the Limited Partners. In prior years, a total of 124
Limited Partners redeemed 1,954.96 Partnership Units for
$1,500,713. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with cash generated from property sales, should be adequate to
fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
The Economy and Market Conditions
The impact of conditions in the current economy, including
the turmoil in the credit markets, has adversely affected many
real estate companies. However, the absence of mortgage
financing on the Partnership's properties eliminates the risks of
foreclosure and debt-refinancing that can negatively impact the
value and distributions of leveraged real estate companies.
Nevertheless, a prolonged economic downturn may adversely affect
the operations of the Partnership's tenants and their cash flows.
If a tenant were to default on its lease obligations, the
Partnership's income would decrease, its distributions would
likely be reduced and the value of its properties might decline.
